meaning-making, the study of sign process (semiosis) and meaningful
communication. It is not to be confused with the Saussurean tradition

includes the study of signs and sign processes, indication,
designation, likeness, analogy, allegory, metonymy, metaphor,
symbolism, signification, and communication.
